NOTE
•
Setting the HIGH IDLE switch to ON position enables fast speed in heavy-duty winch.
HIGH IDLE should only be used when normal speed operation is too slow while loading
mired equipment or a semitrailer laden with heavy equipment.
•
Due to the increased speed of winch cable payout, it is not recommended that HIGH IDLE
be used to reel in and stow winch cable.
4. Use of remote-control unit HIGH IDLE switch (4) is at the discretion of the operator.

duty winch during operation. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
